MPEP 2173.02 Clarity and Precision
Definiteness of claim language must be analyzed not in a vacuum , but in light of (A) The content of the particular application disclosure (B) The teachings of the prior art; and (C) The claim interpretation that would be given by one possessing the ordinary level of skill in the pertinent art at the time the invention was made.

I am having some difficulty interpreting paragraph (A) The content of the particular application disclosure.

Could this "application disclosure" be construed to include the application itself, including the discription and the examples?
